Whole House Inspections

inspection

Just about every house sold will have a whole house inspection.

Realtors will offer a list of licensed inspectors and the buyers can choose one. The REALTOR should never accompany the Inspector for fear of being brought into a dispute of the inspection. Let them do their job. Now, if the contract is the standard Residential Purchase and Sale agreement, the seller is obligated to repair certain items. The buyer must send notice to the seller of which repairs are requested. The entire report should not be given to the seller. The seller then will send back a notice of which repairs they will be willing to repair. The contract has specified certain items that the seller is obligated to repair. This is fair because the parameters are clearly stated in the contract for both buyer and seller to read prior to signing the agreement.

If the contract is an “AS IS” agreement the buyer has the choice to buy the house or not. They do not have the option of asking for repairs in the AS IS Contract. It should not be used as a negotiation tool to get any repairs done. There are no parameters for repairs, so no agreement on repairs were made prior to signing the agreement. Using this contract to request repairs is not negotiating in good faith. If repairs are wanted, then the standard contract should have been used.
